Finished product. They look absolutely superb, can tell straight away, reps vs. OEM. Will get an OEM set for my next ride for sure after seeing the quality of these.

PS. Arianne, my Birthday's in March :D

Hi BigFas
They look do look superb, did you get them from the BMW dealer or independent?
I original bought some from a rateable independent dealer but I was disappointed with the quality (got a refund). So I bought a set from the BMW dealer, I confess they weren't much better. but at least the fitting and back brackets looked genuine The ACS logo design was not consistent as per handbrake.

Here is a photo of mine the centre line is no thinker than the outer line?

How did you find fitting the dead pedal, was it easy or a bit tricky.
I have not decided to get one as yet. It does look impressive though. :)

Not my car dude, it's Durgesh's car, I just help fit them ;)

Dead pedal was the easiest, in fact,it doesn't get any easier, took less than 5 minutes to do, if that.

Your pedals look fine to me man

Estoril: your gas pedal looks more rounded off than Digs. I must confess that the fit on your's look much better.

What I do is, put the left half of my sole on the brake, and curl my foot around to the right to hit the throttle. If you have big feet is even easier.

Well spotted Peppernick :rolleyes:

All the one's I have seen previously had pointed corners ?????

I know its a bit sad but has any one else got round corners on their accelerator ACS pedal

top job dudes, it's a shame I had to give it a miss that evening...otherwise Fas's would have more lines to add to this thread :))))) So Peppernickism and Tedsterism lol

How can you tell the gen from the rep apart from the foot rest?

The overall quality is night and day. The ACS pieces are two or three times lighter than the replicas, they quality when you see them close up is amazing and the fit is perfect. You really can tell the genuine article.

Just need to find £200 "spare" and I'll be rocking them. (pending keeping the car of course ;) )
